Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  Lifestyle Warrior

  Image Source

  You're up on all the latest trends. In fact, you probably owned a metal straw before it was cool. There's a rumour you were born with a reusable coffee mug in your hand. You make sustainability a daily practice, and inspire others to do the same. Turn it into a blog post: You're more of an expert than you think. Choose your favourite #sustainablelifehack and write about how a beginner who has never tried it could get started. Is there a local straw where they should buy their reusable straw? What struggles will they encounter and how did you overcome them?

  Advocacy Champion

  Image Source

  Whether it's through social media, chatting with friends and family, or joining a sustainability committee, you're committed to promoting sustainability in theory and in practice. You keep up-to-date with recent tech and policy innovations because you know that people working together is what will make the change. Turn it into a blog post: You're a natural motivator. Write about a sustainability event or initiative you've participated in, and how you could convince others to get involved. End with a "call to action" which gives readers something to act on: an event to attend, an activity to try, or a message to spread.

  Community Revolutionary

  Image Source

  You have a suspicion Karl Marx wasn't completely wrong. You've tried fake meat but decided raw veggies are better. Jokes aside, you understand that sometimes individual lifestyle changes aren't enough; we need united action to solve social, economic, and environmental crises. Turn it into a blog post: Your passion inspires those around you. Sometimes problems like climate change can seem too big to tackle. You can bring these issues back close to home. Think of a time you faced discrimination, or noticed the environment degrading around you. Write about your desire to fix this as a community, to make the world better for everyone.

  Sustainability Ally

  You understand the importance of sustainability because of the things you love around you: family, friends, animals, and the earth. You take time to learn about topics in sustainability, and offer your help where it's needed. Turn it into a blog post: The world needs more people like you. While sustainability might not be your biggest area of expertise, you are willing to try new things and share what you learn. Think about the coolest thing you've learnt from volunteering with a sustainability project, and share it with our readers!
